MINI-REVIEW:
Afrika Korps is a classic that has stood the test of time. It's only special rules are the Coast Road, Escparments and the Qattara Depression. You won't learn history with this one, too basic but it is good for tournament play when time is of importance. The game starts with Rommel's first offensive and ends with Operation Supercharge.
